would it be “CHE ree”? “CHE ree ey”?
Cher (singer/actress) and “ee”
My last name when spelled properly has a cédille under the letter ‘c’. I’ve got this one.

Think of a french accent, someone talking about baguettes, croissants, La penn, Le haw haw haw… Sh, shoosh. sheh-ri. maybe?
Actually, @Arbornaut said it best. “sheh-ri”.
You have to, also, make the “r” a rolling French one to sound authentic. Listen to it said correctly. Comme ça
oh ok, so.. che—> shuh (sh- as in ship, not ch- as in chair) rie—> hhe (the French “r” sounds like hissing in one’s throat)
shuh-hhe
I love Miss Dior Cherie, on a side note. Its pretty awesome. Have you tried the J’Adore? And if you like those… Mademoiselle by Chanel? :D
It’s a little late for my answer, but in case anyone happens along later, here’s a neat pronunciation site. (You can find Chérie here.)
@laureth: I included the pronunciation ^^.
oops
It sounds so much better in French that listening to it twice is un plaisir.
@klutzaroo Yes I think Mademoiselle is awesome =) @laureth Thanks for the word pronunciation link! So that’s how French people pronounce the word..
